Short version, “reticulum” is Latin for “little net”, and can refer to anything in a patterned or networked structure, as well as the more specific usages related to biology. (It’s also the name of an obscure constellation in the southern night sky.) And who said the funnies aren’t educational? :)
“en·do·plas·mic re·tic·u·lum/ˌ Noun: A network of membranous tubules within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, continuous with the nuclear membrane. It usually has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.” Got it?
My favorite baffle used to be “too much linear distortion in the downward modulation peaks.” The term “grid leak” was used in the signal corps much the same way “prop wash” was in the Air Force, ie send a new guy to central supply for five gallons of prop wash!

I thought it was Johnny Hart, who passed away. BC was also done by Johnny Hart until his dying day. Now it has been taken over by Mastroianni.
